Happy New Year Fabric Giveaway

I want to do somethingfunfor all my faithful blog readers and quilting friends.

I am hosting a giveaway and it's the biggest one yet!

Drumroll please... :)

I am going to give awaya package of**7 yards** of Dr. Seuss fabric from the Robert Kaufman "Cat in the Hat" and "Celebrate Seuss" Fabric lines!

There's something so enchanting about all the Dr. Seuss stories and characters. From "The Cat in the Hat" to "Green Eggs and Ham" I grew up reading all the Dr. Seuss books. I even remember eating green eggs and ham in one of my classes as an elementary school student. So it brings back many fun memories to see all the characters printed so beautifully on fabric.

***HOW TO ENTER***

There are 3 opportunities to enter the giveaway

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite Dr. Seuss book or character is.

***Entries will be open until 6pm Pacific Standard Time on New Year's Day 2011. The winner will be chosen using a random number generator and will be posted before midnight New Year's Day. Please make sure that there is a way for me to contact you (e-mail address, link to your blog) in case you win the prize! Good luck and thanks for entering!

Oh what a wonderful giveaway! Thank you for the chance! Favorite Dr Suess book has to be 'Oh the Places You'll Go'.. as we moved so much when our children were young that we always made it an adventure. :-) I would love to make a Dr Suess quilt for my DGS.

Green Eggs and Ham! that was my very favorite, what made it even more special was my father was hurt real bad on a job and we did not have a lot of money, the government gave us some foods, one of the foods was powdered eggs, not sure what my mom did, but we ate green eggs!

I love this fabric! With a little boy on the way, I see so many cute things coming out of those colors. My personal favorite is Horton, but there is nothing like Dr. Seuss regardless of which is your favorite.

"Oh,The Places You'll Go" is a good Dr. Seuss book, but the cat in hat is always what I think when I hear "Dr. Seuss".Maybe I could make a quilt for my small library is I were to win your generous giveaway. Thanks very much.

We have a huge Suess anthology that was a baby present when our first was born. I thought "Geez, what a huge book we'll never read the whole thing" But lo and behold - many many nights of rhyming to her and we've read it cover to cover many times over!

This is too funny. I have several Dr Seuss books laying around for my Grand daughter. Christmas day, my 30 year old son talked about reading Dr Seuss books when he was in the waiting room at the Dr's office last month....for himself!

Sally is my favorite! THANKS for the chance ~ I would LOVE to use these for projects for my son ~ a backpack, shorts, a shirt, maybe even a quilt ~ it's about time I did some more sewing for him!ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com

All of them!!! If you can go, there's a wonderful grouping of statues ( by Dr. Seuss' step-daughter) behind the Springfield, Mass. Main Library of almost all the characters. There's even one of Dr. Seuss himself sitting in a chair reading!!Wonderful giveaway!!

My son is 4 and we have been reading Dr. Seuss nightly for the past few weeks. He especially LOVES the "Grump" that stole Christmas (he's just beginning to read, so he's adamant that it's a Grump, not a Grinch) and Horton Hears a Who. I personally like the illustrations that Dr. Seuss does of the fish (from Cat in the Hat and others), but my favorite book at the moment is "Ten Apples Up on Top", because it's the only book my son reads to me! :)

I LOVE the Lorax, always have. It is one of my alltime favorite books. I just love Dr. Seuss. I have been reading Seuss to my daughter since I found out I was pregnant. I would LOVE to make her a quilt or two out of this!

I am not sure who my favorite character is _ I do like Horton and Max the dog but I really do like THing1 and Thing 2.Thanks for hosting such a nice giveaway- The Suess fabrics is so cute- someone is going to be thrilled to win such lovely fabric.Regards from a Western Canadian quilter,Anna

Hiya. Don't know if we blog readers across the Pond can join in but I'm playing along even so.I was going to say that my favourite Dr Suess story was The Sneetches but then I saw someone else mention The Foot Book. I read this to my daugter so many times we knew it off by heart. "Left foot, right foot, left foot, right..." lolI would soooooooo love to make her a quilt using this fabric (but I'd also like one for me). Maybe a quilt for our camper van would be best then we could all share it.I'm also following your blog now so (if you are OK to ship to England) that's a second entry.Happy New Year x

I work in education so it's very hard for me to choose just one book. I won a Dr. Seuss mug once that I still cherish and drink my tea out of almost daily! I think though as a child my favorite book was "Go Dog Go" where the dogs have the party in the top of a tree. And...sliding in at second place is the "Green Eggs and Ham" book. If I am lucky enough to win this fabric I have decided to make a quilt to hang on the wall in our new library that is being built! And, if I can't hang it in the library due to fire regulations I will hold a raffle to raise money and have the students put in requests for new books for the library!

I so love that cat in the hatHe helped my children learn to read with glee, and my grandchildren have joined that same spree,To have this fabric would be such a delight,But to whom will I give this I'm not sure who is right,So quilt it I will!for a soft cozy feel,I'll place it in the guest room'for the enjoyment of all, And I'll read to my grandchildren who will nestle as sleep falls.

Ohhh we all love Dr. Seuss. My kids have been asking for me to get this fabric for a long time to make them various things but I haven't been able to get it yet. I would love to win this!I love the original Cat in the hat the best :)son_shine7[at]hotmail.com

it is a toss up of the Original Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. I have always loved those books and even went to the Dr. Suess museum in Massachusetts once without any children with me :) wonderful sculpture garden there by the way.Karenhttp://karensquilting.com/blog/

I really like the Dr. Seuss fabrics and have some nephews who would love it if I won this! My favorite Dr. Seuss character is the Lorax, he had a great message (I may be biased since my degree is in forestry ;))

My favorite is still the cat in the hat. My cousins had ALL books so we would read them whenever we got together to play. The fabric will make the best children's quilts! I can see making a version of Jaybird's pattern. Thanks for the giveaway.

My absolute favorite is The Cat in the Hat. My mom had to read that to me over and over. I got it for my kids, and I'll have to get it for my grandkids too. I would love to have that fabric! I think I'd make some thing for me with part of it--I need a new lap quilt! Happy New Year!

My answers will probably not be original, but my two favorite books were Horton Hears a Who and the Lorax. I just love the messages, that all creatures deserve a chance for life and happiness, and that we have a responsibility to care for our home, planet earth. Thanks for the chance to win!

Hi, I just discovered your blog via the "I took the process" participants. I love your work and will definitely be signing up. As a children's librarian it's extremely difficult to pick a favorite Dr. Seuss character but I think I'll go for the Foona Lagoona Baboona in the sleep book. The story is great and the words "Foona Lagoona Baboona just trickle off your tongue. Happy New Year!

When I was a child it was Yertle the Turtle, but when the Lorax came out he became my favorite. I can't wait to introduce my 8 month old grandson to Dr. Seuss and a quilt would be wonderful - one for him and the other for foster children.
